When our son Rowan was little, we always wanted to play the nature and cooperative games with him. However, he always pulled out Candy Land or Chutes and Ladders.

Then it hit us! Why not make a nature-based educational game featuring all the things kids love about those timeless board games? Also, why not make cooperative play even MORE fun than competitive play? Wildcraft! was born!

Now, everyone can share their passion for plants with their kids and grandkids in a way that brings everyone together.

What Parents Love about Wildcraft!

It connects players with nature

The game brings you through several ecosystems while you are going up the mountain. Plants on the board are positioned in the ecosystems they would naturally grow in. Therefore, players are learning about plants, where they grow, and what to use them for on several levels.

Wildcraft! fosters a connection to nature. Before you know it, you and your kids will be identifying plants in the park or yard… and you’ll find yourself saying, “Hey! That’s chickweed! I can eat that AND use it to heal a wound.”

It teaches about edible plants and healing herbs

Well, this is obvious, but we wanted to mention that the game teaches plant uses on a food and first aid level. Chronic health issues are not addressed. How to properly use the plants, when to pick them, and what parts to use are not addressed in the game.

Wildcraft! keeps it simple and keeps it safe!

Wildcraft! is great for younger players

Since the game is “icon” driven, once your child has played once or twice, they can play on their own.

No reading is required. Older kids and adults will get A LOT from this game. However, even if your 5-year-old isn’t reading, they are “patterning” on what the plants look like and what you can use them for. You can also make up simpler rules for the wee ones.

And NO prior knowledge of plants is needed.

Your purchase goes toward a good cause

A portion of the proceeds from this game benefits United Plant Savers.

Their mission is to protect native medicinal plants of the United States and Canada and their native habitat while ensuring an abundant renewable supply of medicinal plants for generations to come.

Wildcraft! is made with the earth in mind
